>The fruit of the plant, also called an avocado (or avocado pear or alligator pear), is botanically a large berry

>In botanical terms, the cucumber is classified as a pepo, a type of botanical berry with a hard outer rind and no internal divisions. However, much like tomatoes and squashes, it is often perceived, prepared, and eaten as a vegetable.[5]

>In botany, a berry is a fleshy fruit without a stone (pit) produced from a single flower containing one ovary. Berries so defined include grapes, currants, and tomatoes, as well as cucumbers, eggplants (aubergines) and bananas, but exclude certain fruits that meet the culinary definition of berries, such as strawberries and raspberries.

Botanical taxonomy is not 1:1 with culinary categorization. Anyone who isn’t retarded knows this.
This is why the sort of faggot who feels compelled to “correct” someone who calls a tomato or a pepper a “vegetable” when speaking in the context of food just looks like a faggot, despite his thinking it makes him look learned.

this guy will ask you what flavor of something you want and if you say "whatever berry they have" he'll get you banana.
